The songs of Night Moves conjure a spiritual energy only twenty-somethings dislodged by adversity and isolation could produce. Formed in 2009 by guitarist and vocalist John Pelant, bassist Micky Alfano, and multi-instrumentalist Mark Ritsema, Night Moves is a distinctly original concoction. Their honey-dipped sound seethes with a kind of down-home tenderness – and like the best glittering music – the arrangements are colossal in shape. Drummer Jared Isabella later joined the band, completing the live set-up.
